How To Cure Lump On The Shin After Hitting?

I took a line drive in softball right on my shin bone, it hurt really bad but it didn't even bruise hardly at all, but it hurt really bad, anyways it's been like a month and there is a bump on my leg where the ball hit that hasn't gone away! The bump is hard and right on the bone, it doesn't really hurt at all, it's just a hard bump. I was wondering if you know what that is caused by and if will eventually go away or if there is a way I can make it go away?? thanks for your help!!

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have history of trauma. So you may have some hematoma formation. Gradually it becomes organized and calcium deposition make it hard lump. You should drink plenty of water. Avoid high calcium diet. use ice packs. For pain relief paracetamol should be used. If it remains persists then surgical removal is needed.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
